New DR Designed to Speed Up Workflow

FDR AcSelerate

October 5, 2009 - Leading the line-up of new Fujifilm DR (FDR) systems at RSNA 2009 will be the FDR AcSelerate.

A fully automated table and upright system, the FDR AcSelerate has new technological advances that give clinicians the potential for dose reduction while providing unprecedented image quality among current general radiographic systems.

With a lightweight ergonomic design, it takes much less effort to use, position and operate than traditional systems. In addition, at RSNA Fujifilm will have its latest DR system making its world debut and further enhancing the company’s comprehensive line of FDR products.

The FDR AcSelerate requires FDA 510(k) approval and is not yet available for sale in the U.S.

Philips and Microsoft have partnered to develop an augmented reality system to help imporve workflow and procedural navigation in the cath lab. Physicians wearing visors can view and interact with true 3-D holograms above the patient on the table and manipulate the image with voice and hand motion commands to avoid breaking the sterile field.
